CBC admitted in their own coverage that they knew of the Kokanee Grope story but didn’t do anything on it. In fact, CBC admits they spoke to the woman behind the allegation by phone and email and still did nothing with the story.
Did other media outlets on Parliament Hill do the same?
In case you missed it over Canada Day weekend, Prime Minister Justin had to finally answer a question, a single question, on the groping allegation from 2000. As I suspected, it wasn’t a national reporter on the Hill, it was a local reporter, the kind Trudeau would have been more forward with, that asked the question.
Here is a video of the scrum, shot by a radio reporter trying mostly to get the audio for her station but also getting Trudeau onto social media.
